FYI a normal human can count to 31 on one hand using binary.
and China has well established hand gesture for 0-9 on one hand.
and even if you don't know that, it's quite easy to count to 12 using finger segments.
I have a well-established hand gesture for 1!
Impressive! In binary with one Hand you cant even count to 5!
5! = 120
that's why you can't count that high, with one hand.
You should see my binary hand gesture for 4!
I chuckled at 4 (my favorite number!) when I just tried out counting to 31
5 is pretty funny too
I found the brit
I wish, but I don't get it. Is holding the thumb up while flipping the bird a British thing?
🖕?
China? The 0 to 9 single handed gestures are used for a lot outside of that. Like divers use that, all kinds of trades, and the military.

Ah, I guess that's one specific method. Several have existed across many cultures and professions.

FYI anyone counting in binary on their hand(s) is decidedly not a normal human.
Now I had to try it out and I'm very proud of how each finger played along
You mean !normal.
Use ternary. Up, down, half bent. I think that gets you to 242
Use decimal but with 10 different bend angles per finger.
Use a 0-255 range to represent the amount of rotation for each finger knuckle and you get up to like 2⁹⁶.
Or 14 if you use knuckles in Arabic
Define normal
A normal person can do it. Only abnormal ones actually do.
Akshully, they would be counting to 11,111. That's nearly 100,000!
Cool
Wait… what
Rather than assigning each finger the same value of 1, assign them values of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. Then there's some combination of fingers that can represent any value from
0to1+2+4+8+16=31. It's like using digits to count instead of tally marks.I work with binary every day or a notation of it, don’t worry
32 different combinations.
2⁵ = 32.
It’s 2026. You can write the top voted nerd joke and still be dead wrong about the math. We’re in the “You’re absolutely right” era now.
Which comment is wrong about the math? If you include 0, then 0 to 31 is 32 different combinations.
The OP. It’s 32 not 31.
E: fine I misread. Im leaving it up so the downvotes can teach me some humility
A five-bit value can contain any number from 0-31. So if you treat your fingers as bits...
You can count to 14 with just the segments of one hand which makes my head hurt less than bit flags
